efforts to prevent health and safety hazards in the automotive repair workplace
“Workers in automobile repair shops are exposed to a variety of chemical and physical hazards,” said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. “Our renewed alliance will continue to focus on training and education about the hazards workers face in their jobs and the necessary actions that employers must take to keep them safe.”
Through the alliance, OSHA and CCAR also will develop methods to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of their joint efforts to prevent health and safety hazards in the automotive repair workplace.
The initial Alliance between OSHA and CCAR was signed in 2004 and was renewed in 2006 and 2008. The latest renewal is a five-year extension.
CCAR is the only automotive-oriented organization with an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) alliance; we are very proud of the wide variety of resources we provide.
